Neurostimulator (SCS) trial

Neurostimulator trial is a process of temporarily placing electrodes near the spinal cord to mask the pain signal. If the device proves to be successful and the patient reports pain relief, a permanent stimulator is recommended. This process is also known as a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trial. At Prime Surgery, we have a team of dedicated professionals who perform the trial under local anesthesia.

What is the procedure of a
neurostimulator trial?

  • Comprehensive Evaluation: Our experienced interventional pain specialists will conduct a thorough assessment of your pain condition and medical history to determine if a Neurostimulator (SCS) Trial is suitable for you.
  • Temporary Electrode Placement: During the trial, a small number of electrodes are carefully inserted near the spinal cord through a needle. The electrodes are then connected to an external stimulator that you can control to deliver the electrical pluses
  • Evaluation Period: You will have a trial period, typically lasting several days to a few weeks, during which you can evaluate the pain relief achieved with Spinal Cord Stimulation.
  • Assessment and Decision: After the trial period, you will meet with our medical team to discuss the level of pain relief achieved and decide if permanent Neurostimulator placement is the right choice for you.
